Eko Hot Blog reports that President Bola Tinubu has appointed Chukwuemeka Woke as the managing director (MD) of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority.
In a statement on Thursday, Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson, said Tinubu urged Woke to discharge his duties with integrity and in conformity with the highest standards of transparency.
“Engr. Woke is a seasoned engineer and politician. He had served as Chairman of Emohua local government area of Rivers State and was Chief of Staff, at Government House, Port Harcourt, for many years,” the statement reads.
The president further charged Woke to work to harness and develop the water resource potential of the area.
He added that the new MD should ensure that the authority is a channel for holistic and integrated industrial, agricultural, and community development.
Woke served as the chief of staff to Nyesome Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), when he was the governor of Rivers state.
He was among the commissioners who resigned from the cabinet of Siminalayi Fubara, the incumbent governor of Rivers on December 15, 2023.
Presidency Quiets Speculations with Video of Tinubu at Work
Meanwhile, in a move to quell growing speculations regarding his health and recent activities, the Presidency has released a video showcasing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu walking to his office within the presidential villa in Abuja.
The release of the video comes after heightened public curiosity and concern due to the absence of any visual proof of President Tinubu’s return to Nigeria following a two-week sojourn abroad.
The 27-second clip shared by Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, captures President Tinubu accompanied by at least 15 aides, heading to his office from his official residence.
The video was captioned: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu back at his desk this morning, receives briefing from HM Bosun Tijani, NCC EVC and HM Wale Edun, HM of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy at the State House.”
